Her risk of having an inherited predisposition for ovarian cancer or breast cancer is:

Q
A 45-year-old woman, para 2, has been hospitalized with symptoms of diplopia, vertigo, and dizziness for the past 10 days. Three days ago, she had a contrast MRI scan of the head, which was negative for mass effect, lesions, and plaques. She has an elevated platelet count of 800,000/mm3. A body CT is negative except for a 6-cm complex lesion in the left ovary. Mammography was negative 1 month ago. On physical exam, you confirm the neurologic deficits. Analysis of serum and CSF samples show elevated anti-Yo antibody levels. The best explanation for these findings is:
(A) hemorrhagic stroke
(B) embolic stroke
(C) paraneoplastic syndrome
(D) multiple sclerosis

Q

A 42 yo Asian woman w/ a history of molar pregnancy comes to your office 13 months after initial diagnosis. Her serum β-hCG level is 14,650 IU/L. You diagnose gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). Her exam shows a 1-cm vaginal lesion. Pelvic US shows a 4-cm intrauterine tumor. Chest, abdomen, and pelvic computed CT scans show a 2-cm lung lesion consistent with metastatic disease. Head MRI is negative for metastasis. Her age, β-hCG level, 4-cm intrauterine tumor, and total of 2 metastatic sites give her a modified WHO risk score of 5. The factor that increases her WHO score to 9 is:

(A) previous molar pregnancy
(B) interval from molar pregnancy to GTN diagnosis longer than 12 months
(C) vaginal metastasis on exam
(D) lung metastasis

A

(B) interval from molar pregnancy to GTN diagnosis
